. in the country * brocante weekend .

... a country weekend full of rusty gold, tattered gilding,

and diamonds in the rough...

quite possibly the loveliest way to spend an early

fall weekend, hope yours was lovely as well...

. happy friday .

after a long week... indulge in a little fantasy this weekend,

i'm thinking candles and crystals in a pure white room that is

centuries old. with nothing to eat buy macaroons and nothing

to do but try on beautiful shoes.surrounded by the most wonderful books 

in the world. a weekend to make even

queen marie squeal with delight...

happy friday

. viva weekend * the Mr. & me .

a weekend away with the Mr. 

can hardly wait for sleeping late (awaking just for room service),

lounging by the pool, and delightful dinners... just us two.

♥

. weekend bliss .

this weekend was a collection of to dos, lazy old fashioned breakfasts

(with deliciously thick syrup), continued work on projects, and gilded gold paint.

hope yours was lovely as well...

. it's friday .

it's friday! and a week it has been...

also nearing the end of warm summer nights and dips into lazy turquoise 

waters... if you are so very lucky to be near the sea

. soaking up summer .

with few weekends of summer remaining and enjoying the alfresco

meals, and crisp line dried sheets, and perfect moments of lingering

days, and porch swings, for far to soon it will be gone and meld

into the days of fall

♥

ps.... as fall is my favorite time of year i am secretly awaiting that first moment of 

crisp sharp cool air that takes your breath away...but until then, soaking up the rest

of beautiful summer

. hello & a party .

quite sorry for my absence... a long weekend family trip.  filled with shopping, 

and wonderful food, and laughing, and a party to top in off.

do hope yours was lovely too.

♥

. weekend .

thinking of a sunny afternoon, lounging on

green green grass, and

blowing giant iridescent bubbles,

abandoning all the cares in the world.

have a lovely weekend...

. busy day .

a day spent packing, and last minute errands, and wrapping up work,

and laundry, making calls, and a million other things....

to get away from our busy lives...

slow down, enjoy lingering meals with family,

shuffle and deal a card or two,

and take in the beauty of spring in the raw outdoors,

as only one can do in the country...

. bon voyage .

a girl needs to just get away once in a while...

but sometimes for one reason or another it's impossible.

so maybe, just maybe... we can lose ourselves into a movie,

a book, or simply our own blissful thoughts.

i'm thinking this... 

♥

packing my things in a new set of these... (monogrammed, of course)

looking chic in this...

sipping a hot cup of that...

shopping here...

getting lost in there...

 and a quick stop here...

to buy one of these...

stay a night (or two) here...

and drift into sleepy slumber in this...

now that is a wonderful weekend getaway!

where will you go?

xoxo
